Projecting on Car Windows with Rosco
Tents, sacks of food and a replica of a burnt-out village hut appeared in Trafalgar Square as a tourist hotspot became a refugee camp to highlight the plight of millions of people displaced in Darfur and elsewhere. The display, set up on 17th of May to mark World Refugee Day, came as the U.N. refugee agency reported a record 11.4 million people were driven from their home countries last year.
Organized by the UNHCR - UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the 'Experience Darfur' exhibition had white U.N. tents erected in the square and films of the UN work going on in Sudan and Chad were back projected on the windows and windshields of two Toyota vehicles.
Cinegel Silent Frost and Rosco's grey screen for rear projection were stuck on the inside of the windows and projectors were mounted inside the vehicles to provide image. Cinegel Silent Frost is a relatively dense diffuser that creates a smooth field of soft, "shadowless" light. Excellent for frames and overheads, this filter is particularly useful outdoors when wind causes a noise problem with other plastic diffusers.
Rosco's grey screen for rear projection was selected because of its neutral colour - for good image contrast and has wide viewing angles without loss of picture brightness.
